Rajnath Singh to visit Russia, US to highlight Pakistan role in terror

New Delhi: In a fresh attempt to raise the
pressure on Pakistan in the international arena, India will take up the
issue of cross-border terrorism with Russia and United States during the
visit of home minister Rajnath Singh to the two nations in the coming
week, starting next Sunday.
The growing influence of the Islamic State in the subcontinent will
also be discussed during the visits to the two countries, sources said.
On Sunday, the home minister chaired a high-level meet to review
security arrangements in the Kashmir Valley ahead of the Id festival
later this week. It was decided to deploy additional paramilitary forces
in and around Srinagar during Id-uz Zuha as it was felt that
separatists may try and trigger fresh violence during the festival, an
official source said.
National security adviser Ajit Doval, home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi
and top intelligence and security officials were present at the review
meeting.
